Certificate Course in Existentialism

A few words regarding the course...

• The classes are held every Saturday from 2 to 5 pm in Room 102 which is on the first floor of Main Block, Christ College
• A short break of 15 minutes is given at about 3.30 pm
  
• After the classes you can join Kurian at the kiosk over a cup of tea for an informal, free-wheeling discussion around Philosophy. Bring-your-own-tea.
  
• Please be in the class in time both for the class and post-break session
• Please be regular
• There is an evaluation at the end of the course to award credits (for Christ Colleges students) and certificates. The course participants have a choice of choosing the manner of evaluation which could be a paper or a viva voce or a performance or any other means with the prior permission of the course teacher. It can also be a combination of these methods.
